Swiss Chard Seed Planting Information:

Swiss Chard does not transplant well and does best if the seeds are planted directly in the soil. Swiss Chard will better tolerate heat if plants are well thinned and air can circulate around them. Plant your seeds outdoors. Spring planting should occur as soon as soil can be worked. Maintain constant moisture levels throughout the year for best results. Swiss Chard is resistant to frost, and can be harvested well after first frost. Many successive harvests can be made from one planting. Cut back plants in late summer to rejuvenate them for fall production. Plants grow 6 - 20" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings are established. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

You can cut the outer leaves as you need them and leave the inner leaves to develop.

Great Greens. I plant them in borders along with Marigolds, Salvia, Bright Lights Cosmos and other hot colors. They look great, taste good. Just too bad they lose color when cooked unless very lightly stir fried.
